PETITIONERS -Vs-A. Sivaswamy,

Land Acquiring Officer Jaffna DistrictDistrict Office,District Secretariat,JaffnaJanaka Bandara Thennakoon,

Minister of Lands and Land Development,Ministry of Land and Land Development,Mihikatha Medura,Rajamalwatta Avenue,BattaramullaLand Survey Officer Jaffna District,

District Office,District Secretariat,Jaffna RESPONDENTSOn this 20thday of May 2013TO: HIS LORDSHIP THE PRESIDENT AND THEIR LORDSHIPS THE OTHER JUDGES OF THE COURT OF APPEAL OF THE DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST REPUBLIC OF SRI LANKAThe Petition of the Petitioners above-named appearing by RAJ MOAHAN BALENDRA practicing in the name style and firm ofSINNADURAI SUNDARALINGAM & BALENDRAand his Assistants LAWRENCE PATABENDIGE MANOJI SAMANKUMARI and SHAKILA UDAYANGA SANTIYAGO their Registered Attorneys state as follows:1. The Petitioners are citizens of the Republic. They own land located within the area described in the notices purporting to be in respect of Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act which appeared on or about 20thApril 2013 on several trees in areas just outside the barricades on the Kankesanthurai Road at Tellipallai.A photograph of a purported notice under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act signed by the 1stRespondent and affixed to a tree is annexed hereto marked P1 and pleaded as part and parcel hereof.2. The Petitioners are directly and personally affected by the said purported notice as they are owners of separate and individual parcels of lands situated within the area described inP1. The Petitioners respectfully seek the permission of Your Lordships Court to dispense with the requirement to tender the title deeds of the Petitioners other than the 1stPetitioner in view of the very large volume of documentation involved. The Petitioners respectfully state that true copies of the title deeds of the other Petitioners will be available with the Registered Attorneys. The Petitioners also seek the indulgence of Court to reserve the right to tender the title deeds if and when required to do so by Court.A copy of the1stPetitioners title deeds is annexed hereto marked P2 and pleaded as part and parcel hereof.3. The 1stRespondent is the Land Acquiring Officer for Jaffna and is principally responsible for issuing the purported notice more fully described hereinafter, and which the Petitioners seek to challenge through the present application. The 2ndRespondent is the Minister for Lands and Land Development, under whose direction the 1stRespondent is empowered to issue notices under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act, and who has issued the purported Order in terms of Proviso [a] to Section 38 of such Act, which also the Petitioners seek to challenge through the present application. The 3rdRespondent is the Land Survey Officer, Jaffna District who is empowered by the said notice to carry out certain functions.4. The Petitioners state that on or about 20thApril 2013, several notices in the Tamil language alone purporting to be notices under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act were posted in the manner and place described in paragraph 1of this Petition.5. The Petitioners state that the said purported notices were dated 27thApril2013, even though they were made public several days prior to the date on the said notice.6. The Petitioners state that the said notices state in Tamil,inter alia, that one land in the schedule provided hereinbelow is required for a public purpose and describes the area subject to the purported notice to be 6381 acres, 38.97perches and goes on to describe the reason for the supposed land requirement as Defence Battalion Headquarters [Jaffna] Regularising handover of area on which High Security Zone [Palaly and Kankesanthurai] is established.7. The Petitioners state that the extent of the area indicated is massive, constituting approximately 25.8 square kilometres. It is therefore more than two-thirds the entire land area on which Colombo City (which spans an area of 37.21 kilometres squared) is established.A copy of a map of the Colombo area with approximately 6384 acres depicted as the extent enclosed within three marker points is annexed to this Petition markedP3and is pleaded as part and parcel hereof.8. The Petitioners state that they own substantial tracts of land that fall within the area specified in the purported notice P1. The Petitioners were displaced from their lands during the war, and after the cessation of hostilities the Petitioners sought to return to their private lands. However, regretfully, the Petitioners were unlawfully and wrongfully prevented from returning to their lands, including by the erection of barbed wire fences and barricades manned by armed forces personnel.9. The Petitioners state that the state security forces have continued for many years to remain in possession of the area indicated in P1. The Petitioners are advised and state that such possession is in violation of the law.10. The Petitioners state that on or about 15thMay 2013, they became aware that a purported Order in terms of Proviso [A] to section 38 of the Land Acquisition Act [as amended] and in respect ofinter aliathe Petitioners lands had been issued by the 2ndRespondent and was gazetted in Gazette Extraordinary No.1807/23 of 26thApril 2013. The said Gazette indicates that the purported Order was issued on 24thApril 2013.A copy of Gazette Extraordinary No. 1807/23 of 26 April 2013 is annexed to this Petition marked P4 and is pleaded as part and parcel hereof.11. The Petitioners state that their links to their lands in the Northern Province are crucial to their identity. The Petitioners state that Tamil inhabitants of the Province of Jaffna are governed by Tesawalamai, an ancient and advanced Personal Law which has applied for centuries, to Tamil persons of the Jaffna Province and their families, who have retained their distinct identity within Sri Lanka for generations. The Petitioners state that in fact, the said Tesawalamai ancient system of Personal Laws, has been recognised and implemented by the Courts of Sri Lanka for centuries.12. The Petitioners state that the said Tesawalamai applies to Tamil persons of the Province of Jaffna and their families, provided they have not given up links to their land in the Jaffna Province. Thus, the Tamil People of the Jaffna Province have proud and inveterate cultural links to their traditional lands, which is reflected in Tesawalamai itself.13. The Petitioners accordingly yearn to return to their traditional lands and homes and entertain a legitimate expectation of being permitted to realise their right to resume and/or enjoy their links to their lands in the Northern Province. The Petitioners state that in all the relevant circumstances, any programme of action to exclude them from their traditional lands to which they have not given up the intention to return, and which they long to use and enjoy is extremely arbitrary and unreasonable.14. The Petitioners are advised and state that in the circumstances, the taking of steps to issue a purported notice under Section 2 and/or under Section38Proviso [A] of the Land Acquisition Act (as amended) is arbitrary and unreasonable.15. The Petitioners further state that where such a large extent of land (approximately 25.8 square kilometres/6381 acres) of land is intended to be acquired, resulting in mass dispossession of persons from their traditional lands with which even the distinct personal Laws recognise as central to their ethno-cultural identity requires, in order for any steps under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act to be reasonable, the following steps require to be taken:(a) There must be proper and adequate disclosure of the precise reason(s) for such proposed dispossession to be effected, in as much as the purported reason set out in the impugned purported notice under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act, so that precise objections thereto could be made by the Petitioners and others similarly affected;(b) The Petitioners and others similarly affected ought to be adequately informed of the reason as to why such a large extent of their traditional lands is sought to be acquired to the detriment of the Jaffna Tamil communitys links to their traditional lands, particularly in the context of a cessation of armed conflict in the island for many years; and(c) The Petitioners and others similarly affected ought to be informed of any purported reason for proposed acquisition, in a manner that would enable and permit them to state their precise objections, including implications to their personal laws, traditional rights and various aspects pertaining to their respective properties.16. The Petitioners state that the failure and/or refusal to properly and adequately inform them of the precise reason for the acquisition of their lands under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act, has denied them the ability to make proper objections to the purported acquisition of their respective lands.NO PUBLIC PURPOSE17. The Petitioners state that the purported notices P1 are unlawful, in that the said notices refer to regularising handover of area on which High Security Zone [Palaly and Kankesanthurai] is established despite the lands within the area specified in the notice not forming part of any High Security Zone recognised by law.18. The Petitioners state that in any event, with the lapse of the state of emergency in 2011, all previously existing High Security Zones established by Emergency Regulations also ceased to exist.19. The Petitioners state, therefore, that no public purpose is served by the acquisition of any land in the Jaffna peninsula for regularising handover of area on which High Security Zone is established, since no such Zones ever existed or continue to exist.INTERNAL INCONSISTENCY AND INCONSISTENCY WITH SECTION 4 OF THE LAND ACQUISITION ACT20. The Petitioners state that while paragraph 1 of the purported notice P1 states that the Minister has directed that a land in the area indicated in the Schedule is necessary for a public purpose, paragraph 3 which sets out the purpose of the intended acquisition states Defence Battalion Headquarters [Jaffna] Regularising handover of area on which High Security Zone [Palaly and Kankesanthurai] is established.21. The Petitioners state further that while paragraph 1 of the purported notice P1 states that the Minister has directed that a land in the area indicated in the Schedule is necessary for a public purpose, paragraph 2 which contains such Schedule describes the area contained in such schedule as a land.22. Thus and otherwise, paragraph 3 of P1 indicates that the entirety of the land described in the schedule would be acquired for the purposes set out therein.23. Thus, the Petitioners state that paragraph 1 of P1,which indicates that a land within the area indicated in the schedule is necessary for a public purpose, is inconsistent with paragraph 2 of P1which identifies the entirety of the area contained in the schedule as a land.24. Furthermore, the Petitioners state that paragraph 1 of P1 which indicates that a land within the area indicated in the schedule is necessary for a public purpose, is also inconsistent with paragraph 3 thereof, which indicates a purpose that by necessary implication contemplates the acquisition of the entire area referred to in paragraph 1 and 2, and not merely a land within such area.25. Thus and otherwise, the Petitioners are advised to state that P1 is self-contradictory in nature, and is therefore irrational, unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious.26. The Petitioners state that Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act contemplates only a particular land within the larger area indicated in a Section 2 notice being acquired. Therefore, since paragraphs 2 and 3 of P1 set out that the entire area indicated in the said notice is to be acquired, the Petitioners are advised to state that these paragraphs and consequently P1 in its entirety are inconsistent with andultra viresSection 4 of the Land Acquisition Act.PARAGRAPH 4 UNREASONABLE AND EVIDENCES INTENTION TO EVADE STATUTORY OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE SECTION4NOTICES TO OWNERS27.The Petitioners state that paragraph 4 of P1 states Person claiming ownership over the land: cannot be identified.28. Without prejudice to the claim that only a particular land may be acquired through the process set out in the Land Acquisition Act and not an entire area within which such land is situated, the Petitioners state that there are many thousands of owners including the Petitioners of the numerous parcels of land situated within the approximately 6381 acres/25.8 square kilometres specified in paragraph 2 of P1.29. The Petitioners have repeatedly interacted with State functionaries and are easily identifiable. Many Petitioners have been listed by the State as displaced and consequently received state support while in welfare camps.The Petitioners further state that a large number of the Petitioners consequent to their being refused permission to return to their lands yet languish in these welfare camps established by the State.30. The Petitioners state therefore that it is patently unreasonable for the 1stRespondent to now claim that all of the owners of the several thousands of plots of land situated within the area specified by the Schedule are unidentifiable.31. The Petitioners state that they reasonably apprehend that the claim in paragraph 4 of P1 is an attempt to evade the statutory duty imposed by Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act, which states that:Where the Minister considers that a particular land is suitable for a public purpose.he shall direct the acquiring officer of the district in which that land is situated to cause a notice in accordance with subsection (3) to begiven to the owner or owners of that land and to be exhibited in some conspicuous places on or near that landNON-COMPLIANCE WITH MATERIAL STATUTORY PROVISIONS32. The Petitioners state that Section 2(2) of the Land Acquisition Act specifies that the notice referred to in subsection (1) shall be in the Sinhala, Tamil and English languages.33. The Petitioners state however that the failure of the 1stRespondent to publish P1 in all three languages, and only in the Tamil language, amounts to non-compliance with material statutory provisions, and is therefore illegal.34. The Petitioners state that in light of the foregoing, the purported notice under Section 2 of the Land Acquisition Act marked P1 was occasionedmala fide, illegally and for improper considerations; does not evince a public purpose; is internally contradictory and therefore irrational, unreasonable, arbitrary and capricious; isultra viresthe Land Acquisition Act; evidences an intention to evade statutory obligations to provide notices to owners under Section 4 of the Land Acquisition Act; and does not comply with material statutory provisions. Thus and otherwise, the purported notice P1 is illegal, voidab initioand of no force or effect in law. UNLAWFULNESS OF P435. The Petitioners states that, in light of the above, P4 is illegal, voidab initio,and of no force or effect in law for the reason that P1 is illegal, voidab initio,and of no force or effect in law.36. The Petitioners state in addition that an Order under proviso [a] to section 38 of the Land Acquisition Act [as amended] may be made only where it becomes necessary to take immediate possession of any land on the ground of any urgency, at any time after a notice under Section 2 is exhibited for the first time in the area in which that land is situated or at any time after a notice under Section 4 is exhibited for the first time on or near that land.37. The Petitioners state that the state security forces are already in possession, albeit unlawfully, of the area specified in the purported Order P4. Therefore, the Petitioners state that as a matter of logical construction and law there can be no necessity for any person to take immediate possession of such lands on behalf of the State, as the State is already in unlawful possession of such lands.38. The Petitioners are advised to state that proviso [a] to section 38 applies in cases where the land or lands concerned are not in the possession of the State. It is thus plainly inapplicable in cases where the State is already in possession of private lands.39. The Petitioners state that the purported Order P4 was ostensibly not issued for the reasons permissible by law and that it was in fact issued to deny the Petitioners of recourse to rights and protections that are afforded to persons in respect of their lands in cases of land acquisition where proviso [a] to section 38 is not invoked.40. Therefore, the Petitioners state that the purported Order P4 isultra viressection 38 of the Land Acquisition Act, and was occasioned bymala fideconsiderations. Thus and otherwise, the purported Order P4 isultra vires, unreasonable, offensive of the Principle of Proportionality, preceded by effective disregard for the Principles of Natural Justice, irrational and unfair. It is therefore unlawful, voidab initio,and of no force or effect in law. The Petitioners further state that the purported Order P4 is also contrary to and/or entirely inconsistent with the Doctrine of Public Trust.41. The Petitioners further state that, grave and irreparable loss, harm and damage would be caused to the Petitioners and to the several owners of the thousands of plots of land situated within the area specified in the Schedule to the purported notice P1and the purported Order P4 unless the Respondents are restrained from continuing to act upon the purported notice P1 and purported Order P4. The Petitioners further state that implementation of steps on the basis of the said purported notice and the said purported Order will seriously compromise and erode the rule of law and statutory safeguards. Accordingly, the Petitioners state that unless the interim reliefs prayed for in this Petition are granted, the final reliefs prayed for in this Petition would be rendered nugatory.42. The Petitioners make this application on the limited material available by reason of the time constraints imposed by the urgency of seeking the reliefs prayed for. Hence the Petitioners respectfully reserve the right to furnish such further material and/or add such other parties and/or effect such amendments to the Petition as subsequent revelations, disclosures and/or developments may necessitate.43. The Petitioners have not previously invoked the jurisdiction of Your Lordships Court in respect of this matter.44. The Affidavit of the 1stPetitioner is appended hereto in support of the averments contained herein.WHEREFORE the Petitioners respectfully pray that Your Lordships Court be pleased to grant and issue:a) Notice on the Respondents;b) An interim order preventing the Respondents, their servants and agents from taking any steps based on or in reliance upon the purported notice published underSection 2of the Land Acquisition Act as amended P1 until the hearing and final determination of this application;c) An interim order preventing the Respondents, their servants and agents from taking any steps to give effect to and/or act upon the purported Order published underSection 38 Proviso Aof the Land Acquisition Act as amended P4 until the hearing and final determination of this application;d) A mandate in the nature of a writ ofCertiorariquashing the purported notice underSection 2of the Land Acquisition Act [as amended] P1;e) A mandate in the nature of a writ ofCertiorariquashing the purported Order underSection 38 Proviso Aof the Land Acquisition Act [as amended] P4;f) A mandate in the nature of a writ of Prohibition preventing the Respondents from acting under and/or giving effect to the purported notice underSection 2of the Land Acquisition Act [as amended] P1;g) A mandate in the nature of a writ of Prohibition, preventing the Respondents from acting under and/or giving effect to the purported order published underSection 38 Proviso Aof the Land Acquisition Act as amended P4;h) An order for costs; andi) An order for such further and other reliefs as to Your Lordships Court shall seem meet.Registered attorneys for the petitionersRelated stories;Acquisition Notices: Militarization Through Grabbing Of Tamil Lands1474 Northern Tamils Petition Appeal Court To Help Prevent Grab Of Their Homes By Rajapaksa Regime
